This is real fun again Wiking!
Incredible how lively your scenes get, again and again, by adding all those different figures.
You must have an enormous storage of unpainted figz at home to choose from, right?

Hi Viking,

let me try understand - or give my interpretation.
An arab matador is tickling a rhino lost in the desert with an Italian flag while some Aussis on vacation to a brothel are cheering the lot in the middle of an international fair at Tobrouk.
The lizzard is the cherry on top of the cheese cake.
Words cannot describe a fraction of what there is
Viking, you made my day

Pure fantasy and much fun. :thumbup: Right up my street.

The reserved looking British Officers standing aloof and the tough iron men from OZ,are enjoying the fun, as are the spectators behind the wall. The Brits wave the Union Flag, and the Rhino is about to get his butt whacked by a fool hardy Limey! Or a guy from down under.
The movie,"The Italian Job", good old funny Benny Hill,liked his Women rather Over Bearing ,
and on the rather Delicious Plump Side. Very Cool to include him here. :thumbup:

Is that Little John from the Robin Hood set, confronting those ladies? Paul Howes

Well. The black Africans are for sure the most unsuitable figures in this scene which, by it's nature, plays in northern Africa... and Aborigines belong to Australia, everybody else is called 'native'... er...

Enough the nitpicking. Better tell us from where you got that gecko and the butterfly.

@Mr.Cryns
Thank you for your nice comment.
I bought a lot of single figure at modelshows like Heiden (Little John see @ Beano Boy) as an example. But unfortunately the main seller of single figures for Airfix, Esci, Cäsar etc. is no more in business. And you are right additonal some figure set too.

@Erik_Jan
Thank you very much for your nice reply.

@Alex
Your comment is a pleasure for me Alex.


@Michael Robert
I think you get it :-D .

@Beano Boy
Well done description.
During I put the pic into these forum I thought: Beano Boy will he pass Benny Hill without any comment? :-D
I remember only a few of his funny but more or less always the same situation with a smile into my face of his TV stories.
The "Little John" is as you told form Airfix Robin Hood set. I own around five figure of these set.
He told the ladies: " It`s a man`s world"!

The great thing about my day is I am able to read all the comments here just like our friend Gunnar does. It`s good to see some new`er members place their work and also joining in to comment too.
It is a good guide to improve your English communication skills for free.

Perhaps my style of English coupled with my wit is not everyones cup of tea,
but it is a helpful planned out part of BB,my neverfootloosebutfree puppet character.
All can find my real name if they have interest in doing so. I tried to put BB,upon the shelf for a few days,but Mrs B,said BB,belongs on the Forum. So my rather formal name Paul Howes was quick smart dropped back upon my own head,and him BB,back into his rightful place here because I feel relaxed using him to express many a thing here and upon my blog. Strangely I felt way out of place using my real name,and Mrs B,was absoloutely right.

So yes Wiking ,
I remember Benny Hill quite vividly and recall very much his kind of unique comedy, and to drop his name here with the fancy free lady was a real gem I picked out amongst the crowd.
While others were interested in what was going on around them he was seeking a much needed pleasurable thing, flesh and lots of bouncing fun with it too.
Once again your item is greatfun.
It requires thinking about which is so good a thing to do. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D BB

I am very sorry, YES!

Past 10 years I was for approx. the same time in international service. And I only speak with non native English speakers at a very low level.
Maybe this is the reason to follow your English often very very slow.
Yesterday I ask at one point my sister, ( English teacher) told her only at the phone and she translate me fluidly. I am sorry for my English.

We live and learn but the wiser will not grow.

Thank you for the flowers again.

As always a joy to search for the details.

I am not sure about rhinos in Libya but the concept and capture of the atmosphere is again, inspirational.

Best wishes,
